The global Market size was around USD 11.76 billion in 2024 and is likely to expand at a CAGR of more than 8.4%, surpassing USD 33.56 billion revenue by 2037. North America is projected to secure majority share by 2037, fueled by rising cases of hearing loss, a growing geriatric population, and technological advancements in hearing aid designs.
The growth of the market can primarily be accounted to the growing unsafe listening practices, such as listening to music at high volume via earphones, gaming, noise pollution and others resulting in the higher cases of deafness across the globe. As per the data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), it was noticed that more than 1 billion adults are projected to be at a permanent avoidable hearing loss on account of unsafe listening practices.
The global hearing aids market trends such as, a higher number of untreated hearing disabilities boosting the demand for hearing rehabilitation, and growing government initiatives to promote the upcoming technological innovation to improve hearing loss are projected to influence the growth of the market positively over the forecast period. For instance, approximately 2.4 billion people are expected to show symptoms of hearing loss, and about 650 million people are projected to be in the need of hearing rehabilitation by the year 2050. Moreover, hearing aids are electronic devices to be worn in or behind the person’s year. Hearing aids are helpful for deaf people since they are designed to transmit sound from the environment into the ear by making it louder. Hence, such factors are projected to hike the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Hearing Aids Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing Prevalence of Hearing Loss Globally - World Health Organization (WHO) stated that nearly 430 million individuals across the globe live with hearing disabilities, out of which, 34 million of them are children.
- Increasing Geriatric Population with Significant Hearing Disability- World Bank released a set of data demonstrating that the geriatric population reached 747,238,580 in 2021 worldwide.At a certain age, the hearing sensitivities and speech understanding of people fade away. Age-related hearing loss or also known as Presbycusis, is a natural phenomenon that occurs as a person grows old. Hearing loss generally occurs due to the changes in the auditory nerve and inner ear that causes a person to be intolerant to loud sounds. Hence, higher demand for hearing aids emerges in the market on the back of growing geriatrics over the forecast period.
- Rising Adoption of Hearables Hardware - As of 2020, the total number of hearables hardware installed was projected to reach nearly 250 million units which are further forecasted to hit approximately 950 units installed by the year 2024.
- Spiking Penetration of Personal Audio Devices- It is estimated that more than 50% of the global population aged between 10 to 35 is going to be exposed to unsafe degrees of hearing loss on account of the higher utilization of personal audio devices.
Challenges
